Formulation view Behentrimonium Chloride acts as the core cationic conditioner, paired with silicones and coconut oil for gloss. Honey provides natural moisture, while citrus extracts add fragrance. The preservation system is complex, containing multiple agents. Designed for curls, the polymers coat strands to improve manageability, though coconut oil's moderate comedogenicity requires thorough rinsing for acne-prone scalps.
